Kick back Vita gameTales of Hearts Rworks with PS TV, says Bandai Namco. This means you’re able to enjoy the portable title on your larger TV screen. Duh, you say? PS TV has what are basically the Vita’s innards, and it is compatible with Vita games, but not all games are guaranteed to work with the system. Some of that comes down to button/input mapping. But no worries, RPG fans. We should be good on this point....

Most of the time when a movie is just the first movie but more things go wrong. Jokes get recycled, characters get dull, plots get old. The beauty of LEGO, as illustrated by the relentless onslaught of surprisingly good games, is that there’s always some new way to build it despite using the same pieces… like LEGOs....

Before that is the dark ages. Video games existed, but they were largely compiled in gargantuan mainframes by university students in their spare time. Sometimes they’d be found in whizbang arcade cabinets or made by people dabbling in computer engineering in their garage or basement....
